Elsyca has been active in the Corrosion Protection market since its establishment. Elsyca has developed a unique and comprehensive platform for expert modeling and simulation that provides all tools to predict how a particular system will perform even for the most complex situations. It can provide quantitative information on the cathodic protection levels achieved and the lifetime of the system, thus reducing the risk of systems not meeting the design goals and enabling future management of assets to be planned effectively. Elsyca’s technology has been validated in close collaboration with leading players such as Nederlandse Gasunie, Sasol Gas, Arcelor, Suez energy International etc.

In the course of the past years, Elsyca has conducted important engineering projects for both on- and off-shore structures CP design and for pipeline CP verifications in which its unique technology enabled major customer value-added. Given all these successes and relevant industrial feedback, Elsyca plans to broaden its portfolio toward a full service offering with the intent to create a leading successful venture in corrosion protection engineering.
